Make sure your crank pulley is on right.

I put a new oem stock tensioner on it still did it, crank pulley on right, everything looks to be in line. Will a aftermarket tensioner fix it...

The Katech unit should cure all your ills. You can even adjust how tight it is.

I've seen this problem 1000 times, and seen it fixed every time the same way. It's also go a special "high sided" pulley, to help even more.
